"The Sound of Freedom"

Upon entering Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, one of the first things you'll notice is the roar of jet aircraft above. The sign at the front gate proudly reads, “Pardon our noise, it’s the sound of freedom.” For over 75 years, these echoes of freedom have defined life at Cherry Point. With a rich history and access to nearby beaches, it's easy to see why MCAS Cherry Point is such a desirable home for military families.
